That's very ...Thank you :) Totally made my day!<br />That's very sweet of your doc... you need their support, as well as their advice.<br />BTW, my cat had crystals and it was related to eating too much dry food and the imbalance of minerals/vitamins (too much magnesium, often) they contain, and the lack of moisture. He was so sick and the stupid vet ended up performing surgery on him to - agh - remove his manly bits so that the urethra would be more open. We were panicked and took his advice, only to find out right after that this is an anitquated and unnecessary surgery. Grrr. So, basically making sure he has lots of liquids and doesn't have a dry food diet should help immensely. We cook for our cat and dog now (it's scary what goes into pet food - basically an unregulated industry), just brown rice, meat/fish, veges (sweet potato, zucchini, peas) and give them vitamin supplements.Luciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16623807852918160664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614900991111270710.post-53958880270405983842010-12-02T19:13:51.393-05:002010-12-02T19:13:51.393-05:00Wow, I wish MY doctor would call every once in a w...Wow, I wish MY doctor would call every once in a while instead of just communicating through mail...oh, wait...those are just bills.

The Vet recommended a "prescription" dog food they had at petsmart. It was for "urinary health" and was pretty expensive.<br />After six months, he resovled his symptoms (he was actually dribbling pee when he slept & was only 10 months at the time).<br /><br />We then changed him back to less expensive dog food and he has been fine. Sometimes it is a phase. My yellow lab has a lot of allergies and we get his food online from Flint River Ranch. He eats the trout and potato food and has done really well with it. It isn't too expensive and it doesn't have all the crummy fillers in it that a lot of dog food has.<br /><br />I have a friend who does the raw food with her labs and she swears by it. It's just expensive to do! And mama has to save money to pay for her ferility treatments!!!"Jay"https://www.blogger.com/profile/17519195747352626938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614900991111270710.post-27406038062791759092010-12-02T14:40:09.686-05:002010-12-02T14:40:09.686-05:00I'm not surprised at all that you were nominat...I'm not surprised at all that you were nominated.

That's great that your doc called and chatted with you. It's so nice when they'll actually take time to talk to you about things.meggolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04516705065671805455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614900991111270710.post-31165150269804564232010-12-02T08:28:11.241-05:002010-12-02T08:28:11.241-05:00I've been a lurker here for a while now.

They have kibble as well as frozen raw food. Basically no matter what food you choose look at the ingredients. You don't want by-products. You want meat to be the first ingredient. Many of the so-called good brands aren't really that good. Good luck with your search for food. <br /><br />I wish you well in your TTC journey. It's wonderful that Buster is so involved. Maybe now that I've commented once I'll do it more often. :)Amandahttp://passerineponders.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614900991111270710.post-79495142230757581582010-12-01T17:09:44.375-05:002010-12-01T17:09:44.375-05:00Oh no!

We have used Iams too, but we have had way fewer tummy problems with the Eukanuba, We use the boxer-specific formula for Sammy and Daisy, which has lots of good stuff for their hips and joints. Thanks for the award by the way ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546018079551716012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614900991111270710.post-13522804025864832572010-12-01T15:22:25.552-05:002010-12-01T15:22:25.552-05:00Thanks so much for the nomination - I love it! So...Thanks so much for the nomination - I love it! So honored...<br /><br />That's so nice that the OBGYN called to follow up - never heard of someone doing that!<br /><br />I've heard great things about a raw food diet for dogs, but I know I would never be motivated enough to keep it up. And how expensive it has to be! That's crazy about Nutro. My pups are 4 years old, and they've been eating Nutro their entire lives - never had a problem. May be worth some research, but oh I might learn too much...Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524692943966582775noreply@blogger.com
